Poet on a mission

Mmakgosi ‘Anita’ Tau fell in-love with poetry at the age of 14 whilst at high school.  She has on many occasions graced different world stages.  In her early professional poetry performances, Tau shared the stage with internationally recognised acts like The Kalahari Jazz band, Seeretsi & The Natives, Hugh Masekela and John Selolwane.

 “My emergence into the poetic scene has been built on inner growth and a plight for the voiceless to be heard.  My first poem was published in 1999 for a school magazine,” Tau said.
